   | Are you .Gay? Yes you insinuated correctly. .GAY is here. This site reports it: Domain Names of the World: New .GAY tld My question is: I like rainbows too, why do they get exclusive rights and affiliations with it  You'll also notice on the dotGAY homepage http://gaytld.com/ they have the "Flickr" option at the top highlighted by default, and it becomes brighter with highlight than any of the other social engines. Maybe this is a joke, and these guys have a sense of humour? "With a Flickr of the wrist"

 | All I know is that I'll most DEFINITELY be making sure to secure my name in this extension. The last thing is need is (myname).gay showing up first in serps. This will be the favorite TLD for e-wars between junior high school aged boys. |

| What's next -- .sucks? .bites? .a**hole? Or am I giving greedy registries too many bright ideas?

 | ^ sure it does.....without it we won't be able to tell who's gay or not! Seriously maybe there should be another committee just to smack ICANN when someone suggests they move forward with extensions like these. All in favor of allowing .gay to be a new extension say I! [Overseeing Member: SMACK...now sit down and shut up] Everyone should read the page mellowmasher posted and their logic behind it. As she stated it's umm interesting to say the very least. (Thanks for the link mellow)

         | Just get is.gay then you can make all the subdomains you want. I totally see people abusing this extension. A disaster waiting to happen. Not to mention I can not think of more than a few dozen keywords that really make sense in that extension. Brad |

   | Just wait... .black and .jew is around the corner! I mean do the people starting this extension up not realize that doing it promotes divisiveness? It's like yea, let's resegregate everyone! And that's not even taking into account abuse of the extension, sheesh.

| What if someone wanted to promote their point of view that being gay is a sin at a domain like Anti.gay? Are they going to limit free speech? I mean this makes no sense. I can see generic extensions but this is such a horrible idea. This is just going to open up a can of worms. Brad |

  | Some registrars are interested in making money from .gay. As long as they are going to free speech .gay is interesting concept.

| As a gay man, I don't care for the extension either. It just looks stupid with most popular keywords due to the fact that the word "Gay" is often used as the first word when it comes to most keywords "Gay Chat, Gay Dating, etc..", or it doesn't make sense when you read it to yourself. Granted I'm sure many organizations or gay people might be interested in the extension, but I don't think enough will care for it to be passed. Many already have their .com's and other cctld's they use. I don't see the point of .gay for that reason. |

         | As long as being gay is not made compulsory they can can do what they like, not getting any of my money-don't give them yours either and this and other useless extensions will die the death they deserve. IM-HO.com |

| .dot gay is for the community, not straight people. You have your .com's , and .net's. But this is our own Gay extension, because we are Gay, and we want the world to know that were here, queer, and rule the interwebz. lol Soon to be a South Park episode, just wait... |
